"West Ham have great fans and play in an amazing stadium, so to sign here brings me great joy. I'm very motivated."
Perez scored seven times in 21 appearances for Arsenal, including a hat-trick in the Champions League away to Basel.
However, the striker then opted to return to Deportivo on loan last season in search of more regular first-team football.
In a message on his personal Twitter account, Perez said: "I would like to thank Arsenal fans for their support, they always showed me great affection and love from the first time I arrived in London.
"I also want to give my thanks to my team-mates and to the staff of this club for giving me the opportunity to make my debut in one of the best leagues in the world and win the FA Cup.
"I wish you all the best for the future and I hope you can go on and achieve great things."
